A little about me... I had a stroke 8 years ago. I am 45 years old. And I need your help. I am on the stroke board.

I had to have a colonoscopy done last week. Because of not having a bowel movement for about 2 months before. The doc said there was no blockages, he also said I should have have a BM within 3 days of having that done.It has been over a week & still nothing. I do not go back to the doctor until March 4. Is there anything I can do before then? Thanks Alberta
